I can say the same for the French language: common written mistake are
the ones for wich there is no aural difference.
When I have to decide for either <em> or <strong>, I just say my
sentence out loud; if I tend to mark a small pause after the emphasized
element, I use <strong>, if not I use <em>.
These are two arguments for the aural, but YMMV.
